Elements of the British Broadcasting Blob have criticised the mad old cat lady in the Home Office for her plans to censor television programmes. While the scumbag press needs no regulator to speak of, the broadcasting media are quite another matter, particularly since the then Minister for Media, Cultchah and NewsCorp, Jeremy C Hunt, bungled Murdoch's attempted take-over of the few remaining independent airwaves. The last time the Conservatives tried to pre-censor broadcasters was during the 1980s, when the sainted Thatcher banned the transmission of the voices of IRA sympathisers; the Bolshevik liberal media got around that one by dubbing the evil ones' words with other people's voices. It is as yet unclear what the mad old cat lady in the Home Office actually wants to ban, although the victims are not expected to include such noted extremists as Lord Lawson, the Caudillo of the Farage Falange, Iain Duncan Smith or Theresa May.
